Alex Rodriguez just penned a touching tribute honoring his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis on her 49th birthday.
The 46-year-old retired Yankees player took to social media on Tuesday (December 28) to wish Cynthia a happy birthday. He and Cynthia were married from 2002 to 2008. They share two daughters – 17-year-old Natasha and 13-year-old Ella.
Alex posted this sweet note for Cynthia on Instagram:
“Today I am celebrating someone very special in my life. Someone who continues to make a difference in my daughters’ lives every day and has my eternal respect and admiration. A very happy birthday to you, Cynthia!! 🎂”
He went on to praise her for being a wonderful mom to their kids:
“You’ve always been a wonderful mother and role model to our two incredible daughters. You always put their needs first and have helped shape them into the strong women they have become.”
And he concluded with heartfelt words expressing how lucky he feels to have her:
“I’ve always said that when it comes to co-parenting, I’m extremely lucky because most people only have a 50-50 split of time with their kids. With us, it feels more like 100-100. Living in close proximity and working together despite busy schedules has allowed both of us to remain integral and active in the development of two young women whose future is limitless. And I have you to thank in large part for that.
Here’s to you on your special day, Cynthia. Thank you for giving me the greatest two gifts any man could have. ❤️”
Cynthia is currently married to real estate advisor Angel Nicholas, with whom she shares a daughter. Alex recently split from Jennifer Lopez and has been spending a lot of time with his daughters.
Happy birthday, Cynthia!
